[users@httpd] A small question (Answering will take less than a min)

hi

I have a very simple and small question. Currently I
am running a website which has 3 frames in it (and by
default they use GET). I am working with data in just
1 frame. Is there ne way I can specify to Apache to
use POST instead of GET.

well, as most of u might jump on me for this stupid Q,
I would like to make it more clear.. The form which is
in this frame is something like this: 

"<FORM METHOD=\"post\" > 
<h3 align=left><font face=\"arial,helvetica\">Enter
Command</font></h3> 
<TEXTAREA NAME=\"user-command\" ROWS=5
COLS=40></TEXTAREA> 
<br><INPUT TYPE=\"submit\" METHOD=\"post\"
VALUE=\"Submit\"><INPUT TYPE=\"reset\"
VALUE=\"Clear\"> 
</FORM>"

means the method is specified as POST !! 

and the last 2 lines of access_log:
192.168.0.3 - - [15/Dec/2004:14:09:48 -0800] "GET
/lisp/browser HTTP/1.1" 200 383
192.168.0.3 - - [15/Dec/2004:14:09:53 -0800] "POST
/lisp/command?user-command=there+%0D%0A HTTP/1.1" 200
1937

Which I understand as : 

1) When the form is uploaded method is set GET
2) When I use the submit button method is POST.

How can I set the first method to POST ?? meaning set
method POST for this FRAME as default ..

  I don't think you need to. You don't need the METHOD="post" in your submit
button either. When you click submit the form will be sent as the method
specified in the FORM tag.
